People are in Xianwu, there are small games

Chapter 149 The overall situation in Kyoto, Lu Ming returns

Jia Wen is sixty-two years old this year, the same age as Zhou Zhichang.

According to legend, Jia Wen and Zhou Zhichang got to know each other when they were young. Although their identities were quite different, their feelings were sincere and they became close friends.

After Zhou Zhichang turned [-], he traveled to Zhou State according to the instructions of his ancestors and invited Jia Wen to accompany him.

It is said that it was this year that Zhou Zhichang met the current empress Yue Qiluo, and the two fell in love at first sight.

It is said that it was also in this year that Jia Wen got the celestial fate and was led away from the country to practice immortality by the immortals.

What happened after that is known to everyone.

Emperor Chang ascended the throne at the age of 27 and initially made the decision to step into the world.

When he was 30 years old, Jia Wen, who had been cultivating immortals for fourteen years, returned home. Zhou Zhichang appointed Jia Wen as his national advisor. At that time, Jia Wen was already in the middle stage of foundation building.

He was 32 years old, and when Yue Qiluo was 30 years old, Yue Qiluo became the second rank, destroyed the Ling family, and stepped into the rivers and lakes.

Until today.

……

Every time he saw Jia Wen, Zhou Xingwu felt that Jia Wen had a melancholic temperament.

I can't tell you exactly what it feels like... is it a mixture of sadness, sadness, and indifference and calmness?
It’s quite a conflict anyway…

But should I say it, the starry sky robe that Jia Wen wears is very dazzling.

"teacher."

In a quiet room on Dishi Road, Zhou Xingwu bowed respectfully and bowed to Jia Wen, who looked younger than him, and then heard a clear voice.

"how?"

That's Jia Wen's style - Shen Shen Na Nao.

Because the inheritance of the immortal way he obtained is the deduction of the secrets of the heavens, such as watching the sky and setting up formations.

And the secrets of the sky must not be leaked, so Jia Wen always says half of what he says and hides the other half.

Zhou Xingwu has long been accustomed to Jia Wen's style. He is also smart and can understand the meaning of Jia Wen's words.

What Jia Wen was asking at this moment was naturally about the decline of dragon energy.

Zhou Xingwu's expression sank, and he said, "Lives are devastated."

"It must be so." Jia Wen nodded and then looked at Zhou Xingwu: "So you come back..."

Zhou Xingwu knelt down on the spot, kowtowed and said in a deep voice: "Please help me, Master Jia, to force my father to abdicate!"

Zhou Xingwu came back just for this!
According to his original intention, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor.

His eldest brother can do it, and his second brother can do it too - it depends on the outcome of the martial arts battle at that time.

But now this result makes Zhou Xingwu quite embarrassed.

The prince lost and almost all his teeth were pulled out.

King Lin won, but he got a second-grade opportunity and found another place to recuperate and break through...

The winner is not in Kyoto, and the loser has died down and been beaten, but the issue of dragon energy cannot be delayed.

After much deliberation, Zhou Xingwu could only come to see Jia Wen first.

Jia Wen is currently in the middle stage of alchemy, equivalent to a second-rank true martial arts.

Moreover, he was good at formations. Jia Wen had been involved in the layout of the capital's buildings before, and no one knew how many large and small formations he had arranged in the capital.

However, Kyoto is the land of dragons, and the emperor's dragon energy is the strongest, which will suppress the strength of the immortal cultivators.

In addition, Kyoto has a large population, a prosperous mortal energy and is not located on the spiritual veins, which will suppress Jia Wen's power.

——One plus two minus, no one can guess whether Jia Wen can stop the second-grade Yue Qiluo in Kyoto.

But one thing is certain.

Jia Wen has a big leg, with his help, everything will be much easier.

However, after Zhou Xingwu finished speaking, Jia Wen remained silent.

This made Zhou Xingwu look up at Jia Wen, and saw the starry sky looming in Jia Wen's eyes, and the light was flowing.

Soon, he shook his head: "This matter cannot be done now."

Zhou Xingwu opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.

Jia Wen's decision cannot be changed, and his characteristics also make him rarely explain to others.

But the kindness in his heart still made Zhou Xingwu look ugly and silently clenched his fists.

Thinking of the ghost disaster in Dong Lam Province.

Thinking of the people wailing and crying.

Think of that scene of human tragedy.

Jia Wen opened his mouth suddenly, but he broke his style of saying half and hiding half.

"Because of Qiluo."

"I can't beat her in Kyoto."

Jia Wen publicly admitted that he was no match for Yue Qiluo in Kyoto.

Zhou Xingwu breathed a sigh of relief.

"I push my eldest brother to take over!"

Zhou Xingwu's idea is simple. If he can't be defeated, then he should be on his side.

I don't care about the throne, so I will put your son Yue Qiluo on the throne!In that case, you should always be on my side, right?
After saying that, Zhou Xingwu quickly added: "Master Jia, do you think this is okay?"

Jia Wen suddenly smiled.

"Do you think it's okay?"

Zhou Xingwu nodded fiercely: "It will happen! It will definitely happen! The premise is that we can get the support of Master Jia!"

Jia Wen nodded simply: "I support you, I support you in whatever you do."

Zhou Xingwu's face lit up and he heard Jia Wen say again: "Then you go and try it."

Zhou Xingwu immediately saluted and left.

Watching Zhou Xingwu gradually go away, Jia Wenfang smiled wryly and shook his head: "My child, everything in the world is so simple?"

He sighed again and again.

"The time has not come."

……

That night, when Zhou Xingwu returned to Beijing, he did not return to his own Prince Wu's Mansion, but stayed in the Prince's Mansion.

According to legend, Zhou Xingwu and the prince spent the night together and had a very happy conversation.

……

The next day, the prince left the prince's residence and went to Kunning Palace to pay his respects to the queen.

The queen closed the door behind her, and the prince let out a long sigh as he left the palace.

It was also on this day that Lu Ming successfully understood the Killing Styx Sword.

[Killing Styx Sword (Fourth Grade Martial Arts) (One Star)]

[Cultivation method effect: Every 10 seconds, a sea of ​​Styx blood that can attack enemies on the full screen bursts out, causing 2000 points of damage. 】

In the mini-game, the Killing Styx Sword has no special effects, but it is a full-screen attack designed to catch fish that slip through the net.

The performance of this skill seems to be very high, but the attack frequency of once every 10 seconds seems a bit useless.

However, the performance is still superior to the fifth-level skills.

Replace Sword Two with it.

"And the meaning of this technique is indeed somewhat related to the Nirvana Sword, the Impermanence Sword, and even the Blood Killing Sword."

Lu Ming muttered as he came to the porcelain vase with blue dragon pattern.

Then such a possibility came to mind.

Can I fuse the Four Rebellious Swords headed by the Nirvana Sword, the Impermanence Sword, the Blood Killing Sword, and the Killing Styx Sword?Using this to create a sword technique similar to the Reversed Four Swords?
Although they are both at the fourth level, the self-created one is definitely easy to use, with low consumption and high power.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ming came to a conclusion.

can.

But how to do it, Lu Ming didn't have a clue for the moment, but he had a vague hunch that he might be able to do it after he reaches the fourth level.

Standing in front of the porcelain vase with the blue dragon pattern again, he began to perceive the martial intent contained in this object.

……

Three days later, Lu Ming came to the rockery and the stream in a daze, with the blue dragon roaring and running in his mind, and the mountains and rivers in front of him were boundless as far as the eye could see.

"The meaning of mountains and seas...the meaning of blue dragon traveling..."

"Thunder Step of Mountains and Seas..."

Faint inspirations kept flashing, and at this time Lu Ming's transparent martial body had made great progress. It was no longer like before when he had inspiration but couldn't capture it and could only waste it in vain.

Soon, Lu Ming made a mistake.

The meaning of the mountains and the sea, the meaning of the green dragon, inspires the celestial phenomena, just like the blue dragon entering the mountains and returning to the sea, free and at ease.

Fourth Grade Lightness Kung Fu, Azure Dragon Swim.

[Qinglongyou (Fourth Grade Kung Fu) (One Star)]

[Effectiveness of the skill: 10% probability of evading any form of damage, increasing the player's movement speed by 30%. Every time the player moves 100 yards, a green dragon wave will be automatically released. The green dragon wave does no damage, but can push back all enemies around the player. (Also valid for the bottom boss). 】

The mountain and sea thunder steps disappeared and turned into nutrients for Qinglong You.

Here, start with the fourth level Qinggong.

……

Day two.

The first morning of March.

Early in the morning, a large number of carriages headed towards the palace.

Soon, hundreds of officials entered the palace, and there were still four people standing at the front.

Jia Wen, Lin Zhengguo, prince.

But the position of King Lin has become King Wu Zhou Xingwu.

Different from the last time, this time the four of them gathered together, discussing with solemn expressions.

Those who have good things want to go forward to listen to one or two, but they are always in the wrong direction and cannot get close.

Looking at the rippling spirit patterns under Jia Wen's feet, he knew whose trick it was.

Soon, a sharp sound sounded.

"Invite all the nobles to enter the palace!"

The officials entered the hall in an orderly manner, and they saw that in the Changlong Hall, on the dragon chair, Emperor Chang was sitting leaning on his forehead with one hand, his eyes drifting and his expression indifferent.

"If you have something to say, you have nothing to do."

As soon as the words fell, the prince had already walked out of the queue, and knelt down in front of Emperor Chang with a "bang".

"My son, please abdicate the throne and give the people of Zhou a peaceful future!"

As soon as Zhou Xingdan finished speaking, most of the ministers and officials behind him walked out of the queue and knelt down in the court hall.

For a moment, the sound in Changlong Hall roared and trembled.

"Your Majesty, please abdicate!"

Emperor Chang was slightly confused.

With one glance, he already had a judgment in his mind.

Most of the officials kneeling with the prince at this moment are the prince's people - the prince has been in charge of the country for more than ten years. He does not have the name of an emperor but has the reality of an emperor. With the prince's mind, he will of course win over some officials as his own. political power.

There are also a small number of people from Lin Zhengguo.

As one of the two heroes in the court, Lin Zhengguo has a large voice in the court, and can even compete with the prince.

At this moment, Lin Zhengguo's people also accompanied the prince to force the palace. To a certain extent, this also represented Lin Zhengguo's intention.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhichang suddenly smiled.

He glanced at everyone, and soon looked at Jia Wen, Zhou Xingwu, and Lin Zhengguo who were still standing.

"What do you think?"

When Zhou Zhichang asked, Zhou Xingwu did his part!
He walked out of the queue, stood next to Zhou Xingdan, and said loudly: "My son, I also ask my father to abdicate the throne!"

"The Dragon Qi matter cannot be delayed. The people of the five border provinces are already in dire straits! If my father does not abdicate, the country will not be able to survive!"

Hearing this, the corners of Zhou Zhichang's mouth slowly curled up. He looked at his two sons standing and kneeling with a half-smile, and soon, the voice came from his mouth again.

"Then I abdicate, who will be the emperor?"

The officials were speechless for a while, and Zhou Xingwu said loudly again: "The achievements of the crown prince in supervising the country are obvious to all, and I believe that the eldest brother will be able to succeed."

He really didn't think about fighting for the throne. All he wanted to do was solve the dragon energy problem as soon as possible.

Hearing these words, the smile on Zhou Zhichang's face became even bigger, and Zhou Xingdan prostrated himself on the ground, feeling extremely excited in his heart!
What is another village?
That's it.

In a battle with King Lin, he was defeated by the martial artist.

This was a big blow to the prince.

But after Zhou Xingwu came back, things took another 180-degree turn!
A few days ago, at the night talk at the Prince's Mansion, Zhou Xingwu made it clear that he was willing to support himself in becoming a great treasure, and only asked Zhou Zhichang to abdicate as soon as possible.

Zhou Xingwu's meaning represented Jia Wen's meaning to a certain extent.

At this point, the meaning of this matter has changed again.

Even Zhou Xinglin's attitude has become less important.

Because King Lin has not yet reached the second level...but Yue Qiluo and Jia Wen are serious second-level combat powers!

They are the pillars supporting the sky of Zhou Kingdom!

Zhou Zhichang looked at Jia Wen again.

Then Jia Wen sighed and stood next to Zhou Xingwu.

"My lord, I also ask your Majesty to abdicate."

Zhou Zhichang said lightly, "That's it."

Then he asked again: "Do you also support the crown prince's succession?"

Jia Wen was silent for a moment and nodded slowly: "Yes."

As he said.

He supports Zhou Xingwu.

No matter what Zhou Xingwu did, he would support it.

He supported Zhou Zhichang's abdication.

He also supported Zhou Xingdan's rise to power!
Zhou Zhichang slowly sat up straight, and the expression on his face was no longer so indifferent, but full of dignity.He looked down.

Jia Wen, in the middle stage of pill formation.

Lin Zhengguo, the current prime minister.

His eldest son and third son.

There are also ministers and officials...

After thinking about it, he suddenly said: "What if I don't want to abdicate?"

The ministers were speechless.

Zhou Xingdan and Zhou Xingwu also took deep breaths and remained silent.

After a long time, Zhou Zhichang smiled.

He curled up his fingers and quickly moved the armrest of the dragon chair, and heard a crisp sound of doo-do-do.

Suddenly, the wind blew through the hall.

Suddenly, a figure appeared on Zhou Zhichang's right hand side.

She is graceful and luxurious.

She is beautiful and dignified.

She looked less than thirty, with the charm of a mature woman and the youthfulness of a young girl.

The empress of the dynasty, Yue Qiluo.

She was holding a three-foot green spear in Changlong Hall, and looked at Jia Wen with a smile on her face.

"National Division."

"The Queen Mother."

"I have recently realized another sword. I am worried that no one will try it. I think Master Jia is quite leisurely now, not as good as..."

Not finished.

But the attitude is clear.

Zhou Xingdan suddenly raised his head and looked at where the dragon chair was.

There, his father and his mother were sitting and standing.

The man is young and handsome, the woman is gentle and beautiful.

Not like an old man in his sixties, but like a couple of gods and immortals.

He finally understood something...

From beginning to end, his mother was never on his side!
In fact, he had a premonition in his heart about this matter, and what happened today finally completely shattered his fantasy.

As far as the throne is concerned, Yue Qiluo supports Zhou Zhichang.

Regarding Zhou Xinglin's matter, Yue Qiluo did not fully support him.

He never guessed what she was thinking...

Jia Wen was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head slowly: "Today I am in Menglang."

After finishing speaking, he saluted, stood back in the queue, closed his eyes and stopped watching or speaking.

The empress Yue Qiluo watched Jia Wen for a long time, then retracted her sword and stood beside Zhou Zhichang.

The two looked down.

Then I heard Zhou Zhichang's voice speak again.

"Xingdan, get up and talk."

Zhou Xingdan stood up tremblingly.

Zhou Zhichang spoke again.

"You, from today on, go back to your prince's residence and don't come out again. You help me handle state affairs, and I want to use this to hone your abilities. Since I have made you the prince, then sooner or later, this dragon chair will It’s yours, why are you anxious?”

Zhou Xingdan's face twitched, he was full of resentment and couldn't speak.

Will it be mine sooner or later?
When you burn out the dragon energy, what use will I have to this country?To be the emperor of the ghost country?
Not to mention this, if you are successful in cultivating immortals, don’t you know how much life you will have?If you don’t want to abdicate, I will die of old age and I won’t be able to wait for the day when I succeed!
But in this situation, there is no need to say these words.

He returned to the queue in silence.

Zhou Zhichang looked at Zhou Xingwu with a confused face again.

"Third, you have always been stupid, so you are not suitable to come to this court."

"I sent you to the West Factory before because I wanted you to experience more things and hone yourself more... honing your martial arts is one thing, and honing your temperament is another."

"But now it seems that the effect is not good. You have to continue to practice."

At this point, Zhou Zhichang suddenly looked at Jia Wen and said with a smile.

"The National Master thinks, where would it be better for the third child to go to hone his skills?"

Jia Wen finally opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Zhichang.

He said calmly: "Tonglin Province, Zhouliang border area."

Zhou Zhichang nodded gently without thinking.

“It’s really a good place to hone your skills over there.”

"Xingwu?"

Zhou Xingwu bent down with difficulty: "My son is here..."

"Go, go to Dong Lam Province, and don't come back."

After speaking, he waved his hand.

"Retreat."

……

After the dynasty dispersed, outside the palace.

Jia Wen pulled Zhou Xingwu into the carriage.

He opened the car window again and looked outside.

Outside, Zhou Xingdan staggered, as if he had lost his soul.

After watching Zhou Xingdan get on the carriage of the Prince's Mansion and return to the Prince's Mansion, Jia Wen turned back to look at Zhou Xingwu.

"This time, do you understand?"

Zhou Xingwu took a deep breath and nodded: "I understand."

"My father and my mother are of the same mind."

"but why!?"

Jia Wen waved his hand violently: "I don't know why."

"I don't know what your father promised to Yue Qiluo, and I don't know what's sordid between the two of them. I only know that as long as Yue Qiluo is here, no one can touch your father, and no one can make him abdicate."

"Neither can I."

As he spoke, Jia Wen rubbed his forehead.

"Actually, things shouldn't be like this."

"Qiluo has her own ideas, she never supported Zhichang's cultivation of immortals from the very beginning."

"But I don't know when things started to change."

"The situation is like this at the moment, so I can't move lightly. If I move first, I will die without a chance, and my death will be worthless. If I don't move, they won't dare to push me too far, and I can see some hope. .”

The two sides saw each other, and only then did this game maintain a fragile balance.

Jia Wen looked at Zhou Xingwu again and asked softly.

"Where is hope?"

Then he saw enlightenment flash in Zhou Xingwu's eyes.

"Second brother..."

Jia Wen nodded lightly: "A new second-grade person is enough to change a lot of things."

But he frowned and muttered: "But I can't see through Xinglin's fate."

"Hey, I shouldn't have taught Zhichang the art of deceiving heaven's secrets."

After saying this, Jia Wen fell silent again.

After a while, he said again: "This time you go to Tonglin Province, be careful in everything."

"It might be a mess over there."

Zhou Xingwu nodded slightly, and then heard Jia Wen say again: "Don't let little Aguo accompany you this time, take Li Weian with you."

……

The next day, Zhou Xingwu left Beijing again.

Li Weian and Qu Li were accompanying him.

Three of them, two of whom are fourth grade, and one of whom has reached the Great Perfection stage of Qi training, this trio has full combat power.

Little did he know that in front of the gate of Dishidao Mountain, Jia Wen looked in the direction of the three of them, his eyes deep.

"Tonglin Province, Liang Kingdom, King Wu Tong, Six Desires Demonic Way..."

"The art of blood sacrifice, royal true blood..."

Thinking of the frequent bad news in the Zhou family branches in recent years, the frequent disappearances of the emperor's concubines, and the fact that Zhou Zhichang only had three sons in his life... Unknowingly, Jia Wen's expression became serious.

"That's not how you cut off love and desire, and that's how you cut off ties to the world."

"Zhichang, why have you become like this?"

……

Seven days later.

Lu Ming walked out of the Martial Pavilion of Baji Gate, and solemnly bowed his hands to Tianji outside the Martial Pavilion.

"Thank you for the hospitality, I learned a lot."

Tianji smiled and said, "That's good."

"The boy felt that he had gained a lot, so he went back to the house to understand and digest."

When Lu Ming said this, Tianji nodded: "Okay."

Then he watched Lu Ming leave.

When Lu Ming walked away, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Tianji.

"How many doors?"

With a smile in Tianji's eyes: "Five schools. The aptitude is much better than I expected."

Zhou Xinglin appeared beside Tianji like a ghost, and stretched out his hand shamelessly.

"Then neither of us is right, so we have to put up our bets and give it to me."

Tianji suddenly fell silent.

"In terms of talent, he is better than you, and in terms of shamelessness, he can't keep up with you, Zhou Xinglin, even out of ten."

……

Returning to the room, Lu Ming immediately opened the properties panel.

On the panel, five new fourth-level skills came into view.

Winter Sword, Killing Styx Sword, Green Dragon Travel.

as well as:

[Chaos Star Sword (Fourth Grade Martial Arts) (One Star)]

[Practice effect: Every 1 second, shoot 15 quick thrusts with a short attack distance forward, each thrust will cause 100 points of damage to the enemy hit, and it will also have a vulnerability effect. 】

[Vulnerability: The damage received is increased by 50.00% for 5 seconds. 】

This Chaotic Star Sword is a sword technique that Lu Ming learned from candles.

There is order in the chaos, and the sword emerges like a star!
It is essentially a fast sword, and after attracting the stars and celestial phenomena, it has the effect of blurring and hallucinating.

[Dragon Chanting Golden Bell Jar (Fourth Grade Martial Arts) (One Star)]

[Gongfa effect: Passively increase the life value by 200 points. 】

This technique is the integration of the dragon's chanting iron shirt and the golden bell cover, and its meaning comes from a clock in the martial arts pavilion.

Similar to Qing Gong, the secret method of the fourth level also requires concentration, and for Lu Ming, it is much more difficult to comprehend the secret method of Qing Gong than to comprehend the sword technique.

Not only do you need to understand the meaning, but you also need to use your previous foundation as a resource.

Finally, he glanced at his exercise list, and Lu Ming nodded slightly.

"It's time to leave."

With this in mind, he took out two porcelain bottles from the package and placed them on the table, then turned and left.

……

It wasn't until long after Lu Ming left that the door was pushed open.

Tianji and King Lin walked into the house hand in hand.

Looking at the two porcelain bottles on the table, King Lin chuckled: "It's not a loss."

In a martial arts pavilion, there are two big returning pills, and it is impossible to say who will take advantage of whom.

Tianji shook his head and smiled: "That's why I said, this kid is much more shameless than you. How can I covet his pills?"

It's just that he saw Lu Ming's talent is good, so he made a good relationship.

……

Lu Ming didn't care about this.

Leaving the elixir and taking away the martial arts, he walked gracefully and unashamedly.

After leaving Baji Gate, he went to the nearest town and bought a carriage in the city. Lu Ming drove the carriage and set off on a starry night journey.

Target: Dong Lam Province.

In the past half month, Lu Ming has opened up another aperture, and is currently only one aperture away from reaching the peak of the fifth level.

It is not difficult for Lu Ming to achieve the fourth rank.

But after the fourth level, you still need to practice real skills and strengthen your vitality.

For Lu Ming, Tonglin Province was the best training ground.

"By the way, let's go back and have a look."

On the carriage, Lu Ming steered the carriage leisurely, his eyes flickering, and he said to himself.
